The Consciousness and Contact Research Institute, or CCRI, is an academic research institute comprised of 25 Ph.D. academics and medical doctors.  CCRI argues the following:  1)  that Consciousness is Fundamental, and not our Physical Reality; and 2) that all of the Contact Modalities (NDEs, OBEs, UFOs, Ghosts/Spirits, Remote Viewing, Hallucinogenic Journeys, Channeling, ESP, Mystical Meditation, etc,) are all ONE integrated phenomenon under Consciousness. CCRI has recently published 5 books that introduce these concepts to humanity.  The introductory book is titled "The Mind of GOD:  A Spiritual-Virtual Reality Model of Consciousness and the Contact Modalities and 4 large 800-page books titled "A Greater Reality:  The New Paradigm of Non-local Consciousness, the Paranormal and the Contact Modalities.  Volumes 1 and 2 are academic theoretical chapter and Volumes 3 and 4 are chapters written by major experiencers of the Contact Modalities.
